As I had predicted in my previous post on this incident, American retirees Mr. and Mrs. Randal Barnhart, who made the mistake of recently vacationing here in the Melayu Islamic Republic, are not likely to be receiving their desired compensation, let alone an apology, any time soon. If ever.

To quickly refresh everyone's memories (no doubt somewhat dulled by mass consumption of cheap Halloween candy), the Barnharts were the recent victims of a Malaysian Sharia Police raid on their rented condo at 2am. Their supposed crime? These 60-something criminal masterminds committed the dreadful Islamic sin of "Khalwat", AKA "close proximty". Actually, Carole and Randal should be hailed for that accomplishment, as most American marriages don't last 42 years, as the Barnharts have managed to do.

ALOR STAR: Religious enforcement officers followed procedures when conducting a khalwat (close proximity) raid at a condominium in Langkawi rented by an American couple. (Followed procedure? Gosh, I guess that makes everything ok then!)

A Kedah Religious Department spokesman said the raid conducted at 2am on Oct 12 was made following public complaints of immoral activities at the condominium. (what the hell are "immoral activites" anyway? Kissing your wife? Or handholding with your spouse?)

“The officers only knocked on the door and they did not enter the condominium. (golly, these Sharia Police chaps sound so reasonable. You think they were over just to say hello and chant "Malaysia--truly Asia"!)

“They asked for the couple’s passports and marriage certificate to ascertain their religion,” he said when contacted here yesterday. (because, you know, Muslims have nothing better to do at 2am)

Retired policeman Randal Barnhart, 62, and wife Carole, 61, had complained the officers demanded to see their marriage certificate although Barnhart had told them they were Christians and should not be subjected to Islamic law. (all the bloody good complaining will likely do for you) Following the unpleasant episode, the couple said they were reconsidering plans to make Malaysia their second home. (Mr. and Mrs. Barnhart, I highly recommend you take your Retiree Kafir Dollars someplace where they will be more appreciated. And, while you're at it, try retiring someplace Americans are more appreciated too. Australia perhaps?)

Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor was reported to have ordered Tourism Malaysia to look into the incident.

The minister did not like such incidents, as it spoiled the country’s image, a spokesman said.

You see, the Malaysians are embarassed, not at the ongoing outrageous miscarriage of justice that is Sharia, or the totally unwarranted harassment of innocent tourists who did nothing wrong. No, Mr High-and-Mighty Tourist Minister is only concerned because this rather public incident makes his country look bad. "Losing face" in Asian cultures is very, very important, don't cha see.

Infidel retirees and tourists, you can help Malaysia along in their quest for Islamic purity. Never, ever come here.

I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth: Europe died in Auschwitz!

We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.

The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.

And under the pretence of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naïve hosts.

And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition. We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.

M'sia is showing itself "Truly Shallow", with all its denials and concern with image but nary beyond that, such as wrt substance.

It simply can't because of the governance which is greatly influence by a certain Creed which discourages thinking and self-examination. The pursuit of this stale vomit will continue for it chose to.

One can see it in the way which the governance denigrates individualism and encourages blind conformity and compliance(in the name of 'unity') - thereby losing its competitive edge in talents, trade and competition, over time, to adjacent countries with this stupid stricture of a dysfunctional trait. It's dearest albatross and obsession overall.

The more mind deadening islamisation is promoted, the faster the decadence and backsliding. The classic irony of "in search of holiness" being replayed mindlessly.Utterly delusionary.

Not only are these religious cops(aka mob)in denial but it's hard for the regular cop to admit weaknesses in their own system as the recent public complaints furore has shown. Theis mostly left to be forgotten(hopefully)with the help of the obedient and silent MSM these days over it in M'sia too.

As for the religious cops, these are easily greatly encouraged each time they succeed in their harassments - that's the way of hubris and triumphalists.

For one thing, many Western visitors are backpacker ones these days who wouldn't naturally like to be involved in any unnecessaty legal entanglement.

Anyway less hi-profile outrages naturally tend to be suppressed in the crummy interest of tourist money, won't they?
